The Court Of Appeals Of New York
unanimously decided TO grant Jacob
Sharp new trial on the ground that his
testimony before committee OF The
L, legislature could not be used in The trial
against him.
Whether this is SQUAD law or not Is n
question that the Court Of Appeals was
doubtless competent to settle, and they
did.
But as for the guilt Of Jacob Sharp, it
must be remembered that ne merely did
what custom had established as an ac
cepted thing in the way Of Obtaining =
franchise which did not rob the Peep e.,
nut benefited them. Leaving out any
question Of Jacob Sharps character, The
poini is that he WAS trying to accomp i,h
4 work nat would benefit him as a bust
ness man and give the public certain al
vantages Of TT Importation.
II is all well enough for certain yiuu-
Gus newspapers in New York 10 raise "a
cry against the "boodler." But the real
boodlers were the bribed Aldermen, and
not the men who werc forced to bfibc
them before they could get what The in
teresls Of the public demanded.
The outside "proyincial,' as the New
Yorker would call the moderate and half
civ lied barbarians who DO not live in
New York, are not aware Of the fact that
the New York press does not absolutely
and with all its pretended virtue reflect
the sentiments Of the people Of New
York. When you call the roll it is easy
10 see that the great enterprise and intel
leciual power and mechanical skill on
the newspapers Of New York city are eI-
ponents Of individual ideas Of the way to
control public opinion.
